Grass-Fed & Pasture-Raised Restaurants in Austin

Sources: Grass-fed Texas NY strip, one named dish (Steak & Eggs)

New American brunch and dinner spot in a restored 1949 pharmacy building in East Austin. Their own menu describes the Steak & Eggs plate as "2 farm eggs, grass fed Texas NY strip, home fries, demi-glace, arugula." A specific, named dish in their own words, not a kitchen-wide claim, and no ranch or supplier is named.

Sources: Grass-fed pasture-raised beef and bison, named burgers (chain policy)

Austin-founded burger chain that opened its first location on South Congress in 2010, now with locations across the city including Plaza Saltillo, The Triangle, and Anderson Lane. Their sourcing page lists "Grass fed pasture-raised, wagyu & heritage beef, responsibly raised" as a standing policy, and the South Congress menu confirms it by name on specific burgers, including the Goodnight burger ("100% Grass Fed Pasture Raised Beef") and the Roosevelt burger (100% grass-fed pasture-raised bison). A standing sourcing policy in their own words, though not every burger on the menu carries the claim.

Sources: Grass-fed beef, local ranch (unnamed), general sourcing statement

Michelin-starred barbecue trailer turned brick-and-mortar in East Cesar Chavez. Their own About page states plainly: "we source our beef from a local ranch, where it's lovingly grass-fed and completely free of hormones." A direct, own-words sourcing statement about their beef program, without naming the specific ranch.

Sources: Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs, named brand, most breakfast items

Austin-founded taco chain with locations across the city. Their own menu names the actual supplier on nearly every egg dish, including the Migas Taco, Sausage/Chorizo/Bacon Egg & Cheese, Sirloin Egg & Cheese, Barbacoa Madruguera, and Akaushi Picadillo & Eggs: "Vital Farms pasture-raised scrambled eggs." Vital Farms itself got its start in Austin, so this is a hometown-brand partnership, covering essentially every egg item on the menu, not one isolated dish.

Sources: 100% grass-fed beef, chain-wide (all locations)

Fox Restaurant Concepts' wellness-focused chain, with a location at The Domain in North Austin. The same national program verified on our Los Angeles page: a named, dated trade press report (FSR Magazine, Aug. 29, 2023) quotes Verde Farms' SVP confirming the beef across all True Food Kitchen locations is "100 percent grass-fed on pastures where cattle roam free 100 percent of the time, no feedlots, ever." Covers beef only, chain-wide policy, not scoped to one location.

Sources: Grass-fed, grass-finished beef and pasture-raised chicken, whole operation

Austin-founded burger spot with South Lamar and Manchaca locations. Their own About page states plainly: "Grass Fed - Grass Finished Beef, Pasture Raised Chicken, and Locally sourced veggies are the cornerstone of our operation," and separately that they've spent years "building partnerships to bring Grass Fed - Grass Finished Beef to the table." A whole-operation claim in their own words, though no specific ranch or farm is named on the page.
